Bulkley WCRP Barrier Lists

This tool provides an overview of the barrier prioritization analysis for the Bulkley River watershed, including incorporation of field assessment information. An overview of the iterative prioritization process used is provided in the figure below.

The tool is divided into two sections, with separate maps and barrier tables under each tab:

This is a test version of the tool, so it isn’t perfect. Apologies for any finicky functionality!

Intermediate Barrier List

Overview

The barriers included in the map and barrier list below represent those that were discussed by the Bulkley River WCRP planning team during a workshop on April 6, 2022.

If you have any additional thoughts about any of the individual barriers or systems on the intermediate barrier list, please let us know!

Intermediate Barrier List Map

A brief overview of how to use the map:

  • The legend is on the right side of the map.
  • The layers symbol in the bottom right corner allows you to switch the basemap, including to satellite imagery (the Esri.WorldImagery option).
  • Hovering over a barrier point will display the ID that corresponds to the aggregated_crossing_id column in the barrier tables.
  • Clicking on a barrier point will open a pop-up with the associated barrier attributes.
  • Hovering over the stream lines will display the stream name (if applicable)

Intermediate Barrier List

Some barriers on his list are presented as having no spawning or rearing habitat upstream (all_spawningrearing_belowupstrbarriers_km = 0). This represents the modelled habitat results, which are superseded by field assessment data. The model will be updated accordingly.

Preliminary Barrier List

Overview

This sections contains information about the barriers (and potential barriers) to fish passage that rank highly on the preliminary barrier list for the Bulkley River watershed following the results of the 2021 field season assessments. These barriers are candidates to move forward for assessment, reassessment, or report review for the 2022 field season.

There are 75 barriers included under this section, not all will be selected or will be suitable candidates for the intermediate barrier list this year. More investigation is needed into individual and sets of barriers before the next suite of barriers is selected for field assessments, we know there are likely some errors in the data. However, we wanted to make sure that we got this draft list of barriers out for partner review prior to the second workshop session on April 12.

With that said, below is an interactive map and overviews of the barriers, and systems in which they are located, that currently rank highly on the preliminary barrier list. The barriers are divided into groupings in two ways:

  1. Individual barriers: these are barriers that can be evaluated independently, they do not have any upstream or downstream barriers that need consideration. All individual barriers have been grouped into a single table under the Individual Barriers tab below.
  2. Sets of barriers: these are systems that have multiple barriers located within them, and they can be considered for remediation as a group. Habitat gains can be expressed as the “gain per barrier”. Barrier sets are grouped under tabs named after each system below.

If you have any thoughts about any of the individual barriers or systems, please let us know! Additionally, please let us know if there are any additional barriers that you think are local priorities that are missing from this list (and not part of the suite of already assessed we discussed at the last workshop), and we can add them to the intermediate list for field assessment.

Preliminary Barrier List Map

This interactive map allows you to explore the barriers included in each of the tables below. They are grouped and colour-coordinated by system (except Individual Barriers, which are grouped together).

A brief overview of how to use the map:

  • The legend is on the right side of the map.
  • You can click on any of the “buttons” on the left side of the map to zoom to the barriers located in a given system.
  • The layers symbol in the bottom right corner allows you to switch the basemap, including to satellite imagery (the Esri.WorldImagery option).
  • Hovering over a barrier point will display the ID that corresponds to the aggregated_crossing_id column in the barrier tables.
  • Clicking on a barrier point will open a pop-up with the associated barrier attributes.
  • Hovering over the stream lines will display the stream name (if applicable)

Barrier Lists

Each of the tabs below contains the barrier lists for the individual crossings (first tab), and then the set of barriers for each system under subsequent tabs. Click on the tab you are interested in to pull up the associated barrier list. Some of these systems contain barriers that are already included on the intermediate barrier list – these barriers are highlighted in red in each table (where applicable). The table for each set of barriers has a gain per barrier value at the bottom of the table.

Individual Barriers

Individual Barriers List

These are barriers that are not part of any barrier sets (i.e., there are no downstream barriers or upstream barriers with substantial gains). These crossings represent the individual barriers offering the most remaining potential habitat gains.

Barrier 57876 does not appear to fall on fish habitat.

John Brown Creek

John Brown Creek Barrier List

Barrier 198043 appears to be a data error - the assessment information is linked to a powerline right-of-way, but the modelled crossing intersection is with the rail line. Imagery seems to indicate the rail crossing is likely a bridge.

Driftwood Creek

Driftwood Creek Barrier List

Barrier 123699 might be a good candidate for reassessment (last assessed in 2013) – the crossing “scored” as a barrier, but the assessment comment indicated “no action required”.
